Portrait painting captures a moment in time, an expression of a person’s inner thoughts captured by the artist giving emotional sensitivity to the person while translating this to a blank canvas. The finished painting will not only look like the person but give wonder to the audience as to their thoughts within that moment. Their expressions must give life to their thoughts instead of depicting a waxed expression such as from a stoic era of the 1800s. The art must silently speak to you at that their moment expressing their thoughts.
